Performance Improver

December 21, 2011
Posted by Matthew King

P.i. ranks among the most potent gasoline additives available today. As a concentrated detergent, it is outstanding in cleaning combustion chamber deposits, intake valve deposits and port fuel injector deposits, eliminating the need for expensive fuel injector cleaning procedures.

It is ideal for use prior to emissions inspections, and it helps maintain peak engine efficiency, fuel economy, power and drivability in newer low mileage engines. In engines with accumulated deposits, P.i. provides up to 5.7 percent improved fuel mileage after only one tank of gasoline. A single treatment of P.i. also delivers reduced emissions, restored power and performance, reduced need for higher octane fuel, reduced carbon rap and preignition, better drivability and smoother operation.

Ethanol Corrosion

November 7, 2010

The second stage of the Ethanol attack is alcohol. Ethanol-alcohol will deteriorate plastic and rubber components in your carburetor, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and fuel lines. Ethanol doesn’t care what it’s in, it will attack it.

It will attack 2 cycle motors also. A fuel system with gas-oil mix relies on the oil for lubrication. Ethanol molecules attach themselves to metal components and prevent the oil in the mix from lubricating internal engine components causing oxidation or rust. AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer will reduce the oxidation process that occurs when fuel is stored for extended periods to help prevent the possible resulting internal formation of varnish and sludge. The resulting sludge could clog rejectors, stick floats and cause poor engine performance.

Ethanol

I do alot of small engine repair, and the biggest problem right now is the fuel. Ethanol has been added to most of our fuel to reduce dependency on oil. Ethanol and water dissolve within each other. When the two reach their maximum saturation point, the water separates and is released into the fuel. This is called Phase Separation and can occur in as little as 30 days.

Once the water is released into the system, corrosion begins; performance drops and impurities begin to coagulate into sludge. This attacks everything that has gasoline in it. Be sure to replace your fuel within 30 days or go with AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer “great stuff” 1 oz to 2.5 gallons and then you don’t have to worry about Ethanol. Use it year round, or replace your fuel before 30 days.

Understanding Octane Ratings

March 12, 2010
Posted by CarRepairDad

Have you ever wondered what makes premium gasoline “premium”? The answer is a high octane rating. Gas is rated based on its octane rating, which is the resistance of petrol and other fuels compared to the point at which it will ignite. A higher octane rating is an indication of how efficiently the fuel will be burned. Therefore, when you see the numbers 87 or 90 on the pump at the gas station, it is telling you the tendency of the fuel to burn in a controlled manner.

So that raises the question, how do companies create a higher octane rating? The answer is that they mix various alcohol fuels and utilize fuel additives. Some fuels, such as methanol or ethanol, have an octane rating above 100 and can raise the overall rating. Fuel additives do the same, increasing the gas’s octane rating and providing lubrication.

Amsoil P.I. is a new fuel additive that improves the cleaning of the combustion chamber, port fuel injector deposits and all but making so that you do not need to have your fuel injectors cleaned after using this new Fuel additives. When going to get your emissions checked this new additive would be ideal to use prior to going in.

Other benefits of using this new Fuel additive would be that it would help your engine reach higher levels of efficiency, 2.3%-5.7% better gas mileage at plus more power in vehicles that are newer. With Cars that have deposits before using this fuel additive showed after using the Amsoil P.I. that the tank was cleaner after just one tank of gas.

Do your research for Gasoline Additives

If your looking for better gas mileage for your vehicle then you might want to use a gasoline additives that will remove deposits that have built up over thousands of miles. If your somebody who drives a lot then you would want to look into using a additive to help you save money. Now that gas is so expensive more and more people are turning to this technique of saving money. You want to be careful with the sort of gasoline additive that you use. Many company’s claim that you can save money with there product, but if they are the ones that are selling you gas then what is in it for them? If I was a gas company selling gas to people for there car I would not want to help them save money on gas.

You would want to do research on which gasoline additives have done the best. I would research which company’s make the best product for the best price. No use spending a ton of money on a additives if its costing you a arm and a leg. Also be careful to make sure that its not harmful to your car or the environment.

Protecting Your Motor during the Offseason

Just because summer is coming to an end doesn’t mean there’s any excuse to sacrifice boat maintenance. As you prepare to winterize your small vessel, you might be concerned about the health of the fuel system. When an engine sits dormant for an extended period of time, water vapor can build up and wreak havoc on the fuel tank and lines. After you’ve emptied the outboard motor of most of its fuel, add a healthy dose of gasoline stabilizer.

These invaluable gasoline additives keep the system well lubricated so that rust and corrosion don’t build up on the bare metal parts in the fuel system. And of course they keep excess water at bay, preventing varnish and sludge from depositing inside the injectors, carburetors and other vital parts of the engine. Before you stow your boat away for the season, make sure all your bases are covered.
